I don't connect there til late at night on wednesday. The snowstorm is supposed to be done at noon. I can arrive in la way later and that's fine. The time I leave cleveland is more important than when I get there. If they can't change me to the right departing time from CLE then I may have to stick w/what I have. The storm is to the south ORD is north of it sorta on the edge of the path. They're forecasting about 5 inches at ORD on both tuesday and wednesday. It's not a surprise storm, so they'll be prepared. I will probably be delayed but I'll be okay. If I'm delayed I'll be here posting a lot so that'll be fun. Still I'm on hold now and I'mma see what's up

Poof Posted February 24, 2020 Author Posted February 24, 2020 Nvm connecting in Dallas now. As much as I despise Texas, I'm declaring a conditional cease-fire this time only. 1

Still I'm on hold now and I'mma see what's up it's not just about actively falling snow. drifting conditions afterwards can be equally bad. if it's cold and windy enough (and it's supposed to be low of 16* with "blustery" winds) then the drifting could also impact air travel into thursday. not a risk i'd be willing to take.

Even w/snowdrifts, they'd have all the plows there standing by at that point without too much to do since there wouldn't be any new accumulation, and I was scheduled for like 8 hours after the snow was supposed to stop. It could've still gone bad, but it wouldn't have really fucked w/my plans unless I was delayed over 18 hours. Doesn't matter to me now anyway.
wacky1980 Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 if anyone knows how to handle snow, it's a temperate-climate airport. they may very well continue to operate just fine. the three big models aren't 100% in agreement on path, so it's possible the nasty pushes north or dies off before getting there. but i'll be damned if i'm putting myself in a position to be stranded in o'hare overnight at any time of the year.

Nothing has changed about the levels of snow we're supposed to get.

Nothing has changed about the levels of snow we're supposed to get. that's my feeling on it as well. the models have it pretty well pegged at this point. only factor is a shifty path that may or may not (probably not) happen. we're on the hook for around 3" but that could go down if the track moves north. at any rate, meteorological winter isn't over for another week. but my body is ready right now.

tsar4 Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 I give up. Now they're saying O'Hare might get 2.1 in.
